if I went to a library or something, and torrent a file, nobody would be able to tell who it was as its a public place and the library couldn’t be held accountable. thoughts?

    I don’t have experience with them, so I’m not too sure how they work or how reliably they work.

      Mainly I just use the one built-in to settings of Gnome, I never torrented on public wifi (most public wifi I’ve used is too slow to download without chewing up the bandwith) but the MAC address randomizer seems to work very well, even with the ones that use timed paywalls (where they let you use it for a time then lock your MAC address out and ask you to pay).
